These systems are all the same Lenovo M58P model with 4GB of RAM (with 1 exception, that only has 2GB) and Windows XP SP3 installed. All of them were depolyed in 2011. Each was deployed using a Clonezilla image, but not all are using the exact same image because the timeframe for these varying deployments was about 1 year. We also have other desktop models and laptops that we used Clonezilla on and they have not had this problem. We are in an AD domain, all clients configured with DHCP and joined to domain. Unfortunately these users are at different locations in North America.
The problem is that at about the same time (within a day or two of eachother) 8 different users (of probably 150 that we deployed these systems to in total) were prompted to insert their Windows XP SP3 cd. On the one users who is at my location I did that and the prompt went away. For a remote user I copied over the I386 folder and changed a registry key to force setup to look where I had saved the I386 folder to, but no luck. At that point another user who is setup as a local admin (which is the exception to the rule) said that his went away after he rebooted. Sure enough, I logged into each PC as an admin and rebooted, when the users log back in the message is gone.
So, this is easy to fix but I would still like to find out what on earth would cause such a thing to happen. I've spent some time on Google, but haven't found anything helpful to this point. Does anyone have any ideas on what could've caused this?
Thanks!
